Minnesota Shooting Update - LIVE news conference on now on ABC

The mayor said they will show the body cam footage. I doubt we will be allowed to see all of it.

On edit: They did show it. The struggle and the deadly shot. "Accidental discharge" they say.

Why did Trump do this? How can any sane individual think this is ok? Two thumbs up?

Hope it is OK to start all over

I used to have the username tawadi here, but I deleted my old email account associated with it and can't even remember that email account name. So I hope it is OK to use agalisgv (it means sunshine in Cherokee).

Thank you for bringing this site back up. If it means starting all over with a zero post count, I don't mind. Just so glad to have a place to visit, with like-minded individuals.
